the opinion of the Attorney general, and witt
| that officer. County Attorney Spencer fled {
| written argument against the validity of the
| law Yesterday Attorney general Kitchener
| filed with Auditor Carr an opinion II
| which he holds that it is the duty
| of State officer to enforce the statutory laws
| and not to consider them to be unconstitutional
unless they appear to be so beyond a REASONABLE.
| doubt 1t is his opinion that the Auditor should
enforce the act in question, and leave the ques
ton OF Its uncoustitutonality to the courts TIL,
same officer also advised the Secretary of Stat,
! that the new law concerning voluntary associa
/ tions. and authorizing the organization of ga!
and oil-well companies, does not exempt suci
